2-Furonitrile is used as a extractive distillation solvent and as a sweetening agent. It is also used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis. 2-Furonitrile was employed as substrate to investigate the substrate specificity of nitrilase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous Jl cell.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
2-Furonitrile is used as a extractive distillation solvent and as a sweetening agent. It is also used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis. 2-Furonitrile was employed as substrate to investigate the substrate specificity of nitrilase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous Jl cell.

Solubility
Soluble in most common organic solvents. Slightly soluble in water.

Notes
Store in cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container. Store away from oxidizing agent.
